Low/Rough idle


Recommended Posts

I pulled the throttle body to clean and replace the seals due to high idle. Now after putting it back in the car had a very low idle. It will start up at around 1900 rpm, then once warm to idle drops to 5-600. Right at the first tick after 0 on the tach. 

I adjusted it up a bit with the IAC screw. Now it's at 750 rpm, but it hunts up and down about 100rpm.

I cleaned the IAC and it's working because at startup it's idles at 1800-2000 and slowly goes down as it warms up. I don't have any CEL so I don't think and sensors are unplugged.

 

Also I have good vacuum, even at WOT my defroster works. I replaced all the gaskets in the throttle body, and the pvc valve.

 

A new issue is it is hard to start cold. Takes 20 seconds to fire over.
